Easy Ideas To Freshen Up Your Home!

I have a few simple ideas to make your house a home on a budget! They are quick and easy to do!

Lamps~ Change out your lamp shades with new ones! The drum shades can give any lamp a new look! If you don't have money to change out...think about a simple slip cover to change the look of your lamp...You can sew one or use no sew techniques...:)

In love with my lamp shades...I think they are so perfect...They will be staying!

Collections~ What do you have lying around your home that you can make into a collection?That is the easiest

way to add a WOW factor to your home! It could be plates, mirrors, children's wooden chairs,

canes, books...The possibilities are endless...

I am working on my layered plate collage...I am going to make a thick framed leaning chalk board to go
under my collection of plates...:)

I looooove your ideas, sweetpea! In fact, the one about the sofa pillows is my favorite. Ethan Allen is making me some new slipcovers for my sofa and should be here in about a month. I may do pillows like that for a different look.xoxo,Connie

Your ideas are so fresh and so perfect without breaking the bank. Love the lamp shades. I am beginning to notice how much of a difference they really do make. Love your plates too. I am crazy about pillows and find that I can totally change the look of a room with just my pillows. That always makes me happy. Thanks for the suggestions. Hugs, Marty

I love your ideas!I always "shop" my house when I get tired of the placement of my decor. Sometimes just moving things around creates a whole new look! I really like your plate collection, it is neat to see the layered pieces! Very cute!
